I have a folder in which there are PDF files stored. Now in the Form, there is a combobox and I want the code so that when a Form is loaded then add all those PDF file names(only first 9 letters of that) in the combobox.
e.g if the PDF file name is ABCDE1990-YYY then add ABCDE1990 in the combobox. So if there 10 PDF files in the folder then add 10 names in the combobox.
I'm trying to find all the table names from another database file using VB code. This is what i have so far:
Code:
Function getFileNameOpen(path) As String
Dim f As Object
Dim varFile As Variant
Set f = Application.FileDialog(3)
[Code] ....
This function will show a browser window so that the user can select a file, and returns the file path.
Code:
Function OpenFile()
Call getFileNameOpen(path)
Dim db As Database
Dim td As TableDef
Database = path
[Code] ....
I have this function. I need to get all the table names from the selected access file into a list so I can do a for loop after.
I can't figure out how to set the CurrentDb() to the path one. This code gives me the table names and some other names of stuff which I don't know what they are. But for the current database not the one in the path.
I'm trying to find all the table names inside an external access file from a path.
I have a code for the user to select a file which return a patch to the file.
Then I need to find all the tables names from that file and append them to a list.
so I them can input them into a code and link the tables.
here is the code to get the file patch:
Code:
Function getFileName(path) As String
Dim f As Object
Dim varFile As Variant
Dim path
Set f = Application.FileDialog(3)
[Code] ......
I have a VBA routine that runs some queries and then creates a report as a PDF document using my virtual PDF printer. At this point it brings up the Save As dialog and I give the file a name and select a folder to store it in.
But I run this report 30 times for 30 different parameters. The parameters are obtained from a table which contains values such as Cancer, Diabetes, Stroke
-I always name the PDF file according to this value.
-I always choose the same folder.
-I always overwrite the reports I produced last month (copies have been sent elsewhere by then).
how can I get VBA to cycle through this code 30 times, each time selecting the next value from my table and creating/overwriting those files without the need for me to tell it the filename and path?
Code:
Private Sub lstSpecialties_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
At the moment I am running this code by double-clicking an entry in the Specialty listbox, 'but I would prefer the whole thing to run multiple times for as many Specialties as exist in the table '(currently 30 but could be more in time)
'Warnings off
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
'Make the tables needed for the cumulative queries
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Spec 002 Monthly recruits - part 2 - make table" Each of these queries
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Spec 005 Monthly recruits - part 2 - make table" uses the Specialty selected above
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Spec 022 ABF previous year - part 2 - make table" as a parameter to get
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Spec 025 ABF current year - part 2 - make table" the right data for the report

I have a report that I would like to export to a folder, and I would like to include the FullName within the naming convention of the PDF.

I am using Access 2010 with Win-7.Shared, split database with several users.Database Purpose:PM Procedure for Medical Equipment..To be able for the user to copy the file name of 1 or more technical manuals and paste into a table used for a subform on the procedure parent form.Users can then open the related files stored in a common directory that are related to the procedure when later reviewing the procedure .
Problem:File path on the common drive for our group remains static Syspro_5VOL1BIOMEDCOMMONEquipment (Service Manual).The subfolders are not static.There is an unlimited number of sub folders by vendor, model, or make.The subfolders sometimes get renamed as vendors change ownership.The file itself usually does not get renamed.New subfolders get added as needed.Everyone in our group has access to this area of the server.
Question:Is there a way in VBA that when a user opens the procedure record form and dbl-clicks the name of the file in the subform, Access can start at the parent folder and keep searching through all the subfolders until it finds the file?I cannot depend on people in my group to be able to correctly update hyperlinks so I need a way people with no Access knowledge can even use even if its a little slow.
I am newbie to access database, I have 2 tables namely business_unit(id,b_unit) and division(id(pk), bid(fk),division) . I have created 2 combo box in my form one for b_unit and another division, based on the selection of b_unit the related division will be loaded in division.
If i try to store the b_unit and division value from the form to the table called "training" it stores only both of the field ID's not its value.
I execute this query ,
Private Sub Command12_Click()
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO training(business_unit,division)" & _
"values(" & Me.business_unit & ",'" & Me.division & " ')"
End Sub
How to write some code that will search a known drive and folder structure for a tif file and on finding it, open that tif file.
The known drive/folder structure is as follows:

I would like to have a button in a form that the end user clicks and they then enter the name of the tif file they are looking for and on pressing enter the file is searched for and if found it is automatically opened up for them to see, if it is not found then a message "File Not Found" is displayed.
I Believe that I will need something like this:
Code:
Dim FS As FileSystemObject
Dim filenum As Integer
Dim tmp As String
Dim Folder As Folder
Dim subFolder As Folder
Dim File As File
[Code] .....
It's when I get to this point that I've got stuck, I don't know how to structure the code required to do the search and on finding the tif file open it.
An example tif file I might search for is: 0H214_2CJ0001905.tif.
I a trying to search some product from a search button and two combo boxes text values ,and on serch the vba code is :

[code]...
I just dont know,the fuile is created on click of button but with headers only,dtaa is not coming but wheni debug ,in immediate window,data is oming but just not coming in excel file.
I would like to store the string in my table when I choose a string from a combobox or radio button in the form.For example, if I choose 'Business' ( from major field in my department table ) in my combobox, I expect there is a 'Business' in my major field in my department table. And if I click radio button labled 'A' (position field), I expect there will be 'A' in the position field in my table. However, those only store numeric values, for example '3' for 'Business' and '1' for 'A' in the table. How can I store the 'real value' in my table instead of number when I choose them.

I have my Jobs form which has a sub-form for all the different parts used on that job which then calculates the total charge and displays this on the main jobs form. Now how would I get this value to be stored in table tblJobs on the record where the ID = JobID on Jobs form. I need to do this to display the total on a report.
Looked around and couldn't find what I was looking for, is there a visual basic command to set it then I can use docmd.saverecord after or what would I need to do?
Or is there an SQL statement to do this I could execute on a button click or something similar?
Is there a quick way to export ALL VBA code to a text file/word document?

Is there a way to shut off the viewing the entire path "feature?"
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create some code for a button in a report that will follow a hyperlink to a specific file. The problem I'm having is that the files that are at the end of the hyperlink can have various extensions (*.doc, *.docx, *.pdf, etc.) I'd like to be able to put a wildcard in the code to allow the opening of the file regardless of the extension.

I am using Access 2003. I have developed a split (front and back ends), replicable database. As I make changes to the design master, I want to either keep old copies of the design master or ideally, maintain the design master under source code control (e.g.:CVS). This would allow me to be able to retrieve older versions of the database. The problem occurs what I make a copy of the design master, or when I try to pull out of my source code control system (CVS) an older version of the design master. When I open any of these copies, Access thinks this database is a replica and will not let me make any changes to the design.
Is there a way around this problem?
Or am I trying to do something in Access that does not make sense?
Thank you for the help.

using access 2013
We use a Database which has been constantly developed over 10 years using earlier versions of Access2003.We have Upgraded to Access 2013 and we are experiencing many conversion issues which I need to resolve.One key problem is that many of the earlier tables were developed with spaces in their names (Hindsight is a wonderful thing?). There are over 200 Tables that need changing. I would like to update the Table names replacing every "space" with an underscore"_". AT the same time I would also need to Update all of the QUERIES that use these particular Tables to be updated to reflect these changes made and still work as normal. I can do this manually but it will be very time consuming and perhaps someone has already had to do this when recently upgrading to Access 2013?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello All,
I ma using a .mdb file in a program and want to get the list of all tables and all the columns of the respective tables in the .mdb file.
In Oracle we use 'select * from table' for getting all the tables in the DB. But how it is done in MS-Access?
Pls help.

In the lock file I noticed I can see the computer names of the people who have the db open. Is there a way to get the login names from this file so I can knock some sense in my co-workers who still have the database on
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, newbie here to this forum, been looking about for ages to try and find an access based forum.
I am not a great coder, have not really done it, nor remotely understand it, but I have still managed to write a database in access for the office.
We run a residential care home, where we had 5 databases (MS Works) which held different information of the residents within the home but duplicated name, dob, etc. I have successfully writen a access database which works well. But now I want to start pushing it a degree further if I can.
We took delivery of a HP officejet all in one printer, and it has a scanner with document feeder which we scan letters in so we can share them with head office, but what I would really like to do, is scan letters in relating to a specific client, and be able to save the file name as a link, so an other user on an other PC can open the document on their PC. Basically, I want to avoid us going to the filing cabinet to refer to a letter which was written to us.
I am using XP Home, with Office 2003 Pro, and Acrobat 8 Pro.
Any ideas where to even start looking?? I did do a search, but have no idea how to start.
Thanks in advance.
